Whats happening electrical/

[Gromski]

Started the car it's cold but catches an idle.Load the car on the trailer ,going to test it in a parking where I work have permission, get to the place where I work start the car to check trans fluid in neutral.Turn the car off untie the hold down straps try to start the car won't start.This happened a couple of weeks ago no spark situation at plugs or coil.Try a new coil no luck ,I take a guess ignition switch car starts!
Today I get back home with the car ,we never got it off the trailer ,in the driveway car won't
start,definitely sounds like a no spark situation
,no firing sounds at all just cranking.Anyway got a different ignition switch ,car starts.
This car has a new wiring harness in the engine compartment but the dash is old.I tapped the ignition 1 wire on the ignition swich to power the tach and four gauges.
I wired everthing myself I know very little to none about electrical,but I did a safe job no hack at all.
Car has MP electronic conversion the gauges and the tap on that Ignition 1 wire, remote solenoid at trunk mounted battery.
When car is running the voltmeter registers about 14.5 volts.

Ok, thanks for the info. Had the same problem with my '68 Plymouth. New ignition switch corrected the problem.
